چکیده

Metaheuristic algorithm such as BAT algorithm is becoming a popular method in solving many hard optimization problems. This paper investigates the use of Bat algorithm in combination with Back-propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm to solve the local minima problem in gradient descent trajectory and to increase the convergence rate. The performance of the proposed Bat based Back-Propagation (Bat-BP) algorithm is compared with Artificial Bee Colony using BPNN algorithm (ABC-BP) and simple BPNN algorithm. Specifically, OR and XOR datasets are used for training the network. The simulation results show that the computational efficiency of BPNN training process is highly enhanced when combined with BAT algorithm.

An Energy Efficient Clustering Method using Bat Algorithm and Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...

An Improved Bat Algorithm with Grey Wolf Optimizer for Solving Continuous Optimization Problems

Metaheuristic algorithms are used to solve NP-hard optimization problems. These algorithms have two main components, i.e. exploration and exploitation, and try to strike a balance between exploration and exploitation to achieve the best possible near-optimal solution. The bat algorithm is one of the metaheuristic algorithms with poor exploration and exploitation. In this paper, exploration and ...

Bat Algorithm for Optimal Service Parameters in an Impatient Customer N-Policy Vacation Queue

In this paper, a meta-heuristic method, the Bat Algorithm, based on the echolocation behavior of bats is used to determine the optimum service rate of a queue problem. A finite buffer M/M/1 queue with N policy, multiple working vacations and Bernoulli schedule vacation interruption is considered. Under the two customers' impatient situations, balking and reneging, the...
